     F
When gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
         Bb                    C
Like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder
        F                           Bb  C
And the other one is rubbing your back
        F
But the kitchen in this new place has a window
      Bb                        C
Yeah, you can grow basil on the sill
              F                            Bb  G#
Maybe you can call your neighbors by name now

F
Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
       Bb                         C
Still, this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
     F
It's all grit and gristle, I can't chew and swallow
    Bb                  C
I'm gnawing my way back home
    F
The clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
  Bb                     C
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
F                                           Bb                C
  I'm confused about how I'm supposed to connect to anything now

    F
The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train
        Bb                       C
And the people with a seat smile big at me
             F
Because they know the feeling
          Bb      C
And for a millisecond
   F
We share a look like a family does
             Bb                          C
Like we have inside jokes, like we could call each other
F                Bb  C
By little nicknames
    F
And I could tell the story of how my great
     Bb                  C
Grandmother's sister was deemed a saint
           F
How they exhumed her body after years of being buried
         Bb                       C
And they found she hadn't even begun to sully
        F
So they moved her again
                 Bb       C
Straight into the Vatican

  F
I think of all the billions of eyes
    Bb                   C
All looking at something different at the same time
    F            Bb   G#
And I feel nauseous
          F                                Bb  C
Some days I can only see into my suitcase
         F
It's got everything I need plus some superstitious
Bb           C
Things I may also need
F
"Music soothes the savage beast"
    Bb            C
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
F                       Bb  C
  But now is not the time
  F
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry
  Bb                C        F      Bb     C
I just want to keep very very quiet, yeah

     F                                        Bb  G#
It's June where you sleep, July where I land
          F                                   Bb  C
Thought I saw you on a platform in Amsterdam
      F
And I nearly missed my train
      Bb                     C
And I felt so defeated til I jumped on to
F                                Bb  C
See all the warm smiles were for me

F
I made my train and it made me so happy
  Bb                   C
I made my train and it made me forget everything
   F
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb                  C
Made me forget, it made me forget everything
   F
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb               C                    F
Made me forget, made me forget everything
